Which two sets of lines are enjambed in this excerpt from John Milton’s Paradise Lost?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The two sets of lines that are enjambed in this excerpt from John Milton's Paradise Lost are

Lines 3-4

Say first, for Heav'n hides nothing from thy view

Nor the deep Tract of Hell, say first what cause

Mov'd our Grand Parents in that happy State,

Lines 6-7

Favour'd of Heav'n so highly, to fall off

From their Creator, and transgress his Will

For one restraint, Lords of the World besides?'

Explanation:

Enjambed lines are the ones that don't conclude the idea of the clause, it is instead continued in the next lines, where it may or may not conclude in case that it concludes it'll have a mark like a full stop or a comma if not it will be enjambed to the next line.

Read the excerpt from “The Pasture” by Robert Frost. What is the meter?

nekit [7.7K]

The correct answer is C: Iambic Pentameter

Iambic Pentameter is a type of metric line used in traditional English poetry and verse drama. "Pentameter" indicates a line of five "feet".

The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats five times in each line, as we can see below:

U: unstressed

S: stressed

U---S----U---S----U----S------U----S-----U------S

I'm go | ing out | to clean | the pas | ture spring;

U---S---U---S-----U----S----U----S---------U---S

I'll on | ly stop | to rake | the leaves | away

U---------S----U---S--------U----S---U----S------U---S

(And wait | to watch | the wa | ter clear, | I may):

U------S----U---S-------U----------S-----S---S--S

I sha'n't | be gone | long.—You | come too.

U---S-----U-----S---U----S-----U----S---U---S

I'm go | ing out | to fetch | the lit | tle calf

U---------S------U----S-----U----S----U----S------U---S

That's stan | ding by | the mo | ther. It's | so young,

U--S----U------S------U----S-------U--S-----U-----S

It tot | ters when | she licks | it with | her tongue.

U------S----U---S-------U----------S-----S---S--S

I sha'n't | be gone | long.—You | come too.
